    NGD 2012 F50 Maple

    but I did buy a guitar! I just received this 2012 F-50 maple from triple G:LOL: When I lifted the box, I thought they had shipped the guitar without its case because it felt so light. I looked it over and it's flawless, 4.8lbs! The only problem is the action is a little too low which is the...

    JF-30

    My 1995 JF-30 (AJ300627) arrived today, all 5.7lbs. Overall, I'm happy with it, but the bridge is very thin and the saddle is very high. I don't see evidence of a neck reset, but the bridge is 0.282" and the saddles is 0.181". It's leaning a bit which is hitting my OCD. Maybe I'll replace...

    F-55 maple or vintage D-35, what would you choose?

    I'm not super proud of this, but I have the guitar sweats again. I'm considering a 1970 D-35, and a new F-55 maple. I can buy the D-35 for a good price, but it will need a neck reset, and maybe more. I already have an Oxnard F-40T, so how much difference in sound will there be with the F-55...

    Yes, another bridge pin size thread

    I'm sorry to create another one :) I've found that 1.3T size pins fit the Oxnard guilds well, and the 4.2D pins fit the Westerly Guilds. However, the New Hartford guitars seem to have a different pin size. It's like a 1.3T but bigger: Diameter below skirt: 0.207" Diameter down 0.75": 0.180"...

    NGD: 2012 F-47R

    My 2012 F-47R arrived in good shape. The sunburst is beautiful, and the guitar sounds great so far. There is some lacquer damage on the back which I think I can fix, but not a high priority. It's borderline needing a neck reset which I'm OK with given the sale price. It's weird that the...

    Please take my computer away

    So, I'm browsing Ebay, last Sunday, and I see a New Hartford F-47R with no bids, starting price $1000, auction ending in 17 hours. I already have this model, but I think "why not enter a low bid"?...And the next thing you know...arriving Friday...

    I found string gauges that I like on my F-40T

    There was something I didn't like in the high end of my F-40 Traditional, a little thin on top. I had it strung with D'Addario Light 80/20 strings. Well, I bought some single 0.013" and 0.017" plain strings that arrived today. These are the same gauges in the medium string pack. I replaced...

    Tuning machines ID?

    I don't think these are factory tuners, right (2012 New Hartford)? The K on the backs make me think these are Kluson. Does anyone know which model these are? Thanks!

    Guild F-47R, 2012

    In a moment of weakness, I put an offer in on a 2012 F-47R. It arrived today, and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I had to make a new saddle because the saddle that it came with had six shims, and was leaning. It has a few scratches on the back and some weather checking on the top, but much...

    My new Guild Arrived!

    I couldn't help myself. I love the logo!...It arrived in good condition with no cracks. I wonder if I could finance this over 24 months with Affirm?

    Making pickguard safe on D15m

    I have a 1990 D15m, and the guitar tech that worked on it said that the pickguard is causing some stress in the top and should be reattached and the top refinished. I think I'm going to do the job myself. After I get the pickguard off, can I just apply a few coats of shellac on the PG...

    Guild D-15m fretbord radius?

    Does anybody know if the D-15m has a 16" fretboard radius? Mine is a 1990 and I'm ordering some fretting supplies, but I don't have the guitar in front of me now. Thanks!

    What is this in the neck block of my F40 Traditional?

    This picture is upside-down but at the bottom of the neck block, there seems to be a screw. I thought the F40 Trad used a dovetail joint.Any idea why there's a screw hole and a cover plate? Thanks!

    Bellying on new F40 Traditional

    Hoping to get some advice. I returned a used F40 traditional and exchanged for a "new" F40 Traditional. When the guitar arrived, it looked dried out and the action was very low. I shimmed the saddle, but the guitar is now in 50% humidity and I notice the action keeps rising, and I see some...
